Shoutout to the older rider who let me work on his beloved bike
I was volunteering at the local co-op when an older gentleman brought in his bike with a persistent creak. He was wary of letting anyone touch it, but we talked about his decades of touring. I showed him how to identify worn bearings, and together we replaced them. Seeing his confidence restored after the repair made my week. Isn't it amazing how these small moments build trust in our community?
